TUNE: SPRING IN JADE PAVILION

 

In front of wine I’ll tell you of my parting day;

Your vernal face dissolves in tears before I say.

Lovers are born with sentimental feeling heart;

Nor moon nor wind has taken in their grief a part.

Don’t set to a new tune the parting song!

The old has tied our hearts in knots for long.

Until we have seen all flowers on the trees,

It’s hard to bid goodbye to vernal breeze.

玉楼春

尊前拟把归期说，

欲语春容先惨咽。

人生自是有情痴，

此恨不关风与月。

离歌且莫翻新阕，

一曲能教肠寸结。

直须看尽洛城花，

始共春风容易别。
